What do you think of the toolbar?

disabling filtering should be a rare thing and a measure of last resort.

our goal is to have no broken pages, so report all damage to us and we will fix it.

That's not an ad blocker... THIS is an ad blocker.---No bovines were harmed in the making of this program.---My first popup stopper blocked too much.My second popup stopper didn't block enough.Ad Muncher was juuuuust right.

On sites that i use regularly and are reputable such as bbc site i always use a "no filtering on url" filter which is effectivley disabling filtering,so im not sure why it should be a rare thing?.Although logs shows that theres no filtering and "my filters" show that i have the filter in place ,it still would be nice to have a visible indication of this without having to open the admuncher gui to check or to have to execute a keyboard/mouse command.A simple indicator would be so much easier ,as is the case with ABP.

it wouldn't be a simple thing since Ad Muncher isn't a browser add-on, it doesn't have access to any of the browser API's

Ad Muncher is basically a proxy.

Any solution would have to work with all browsers.

Thank you for the suggestion, we'll keep it in mind.

Thanks for the information.I guessed it may not be that easy to do otherwise it probably would have been done.Im not a programmer so i dont understand how easily these things are accomplished.One thought i had would be to somehow link the "my filters" log to the admuncher tray icon,where it would change to a specified colour if the "no filtering on url" filter was active for a website.In theory this would then show that a website was not being filtered?.Again im not a programmer so i dont know how easy that would be to implement or if there would be problems encountered because of it.

[quote="Murray"]We've introduced a new toolbar system which shows a toolbar at the top of the browser window, but only when you hold CTRL or SHIFT and right-click on a filtered page, or when a popup has been blocked.[/quote]Thanks. I just found this information here using google. I think when I first install Ad Muncher on a system it might tell me this but I can't remember. I don't find this information using help. Am I the only user that forgets/doesn't know this? Is so then perhaps there is a non-invasive way to communicate to forgetful users like myself.
